Russian officials might be cool with Snowden hanging out in Russia, but not with Madonna and Lady Gaga.

According to The Guardian, the two artists did not have permission to play concerts in 2012 and Russian officials are considering pressing charges.

Leading the charge is Vitaly Milonov, the politician who wrote St Petersburg's law banning gay 'propaganda.' He's got a bone to pick with both singers, who talked about their support of the gay community during their 2012 shows. In reaction, Milonov gave chase in court, trying to have them charged with "promoting sodomy, lesbianism, bisexuality and transgenderism among minors."
